Hello Michael,

One of those new things that came up in de 24 years that you have been away is IPv6. The Internet Protocol that is the successor of IPv4, AKA TCP/IP. The odd thing is that you already present an IPv6 address in your host name. As a result Fidonet systems that support the new IPv6 protocol first try to connect to your system by IPv6. But that does not work because your system is not ready for it yet. I think /you/ are not ready for it yet. So for now I suggest you remove the IPv6 address (the so called AAAA record) from the DNS record associated with yout host name globalchaosbbs.com.

Great!
